Well, to put it simply, WOW. Ohio State came out rolling.
In front of one of the biggest crowds in Beaver Stadium history, Terrelle Pryor and the Buckeyes showed they still have life for a chance at the Rose Bowl. Besides one questionable touchdown drive, the Buckeyes overall were in control for a 24-7 win. Ohio State did not need to rely on its defense in this game, which was a great surprise.
Ohio State came out in the second half firing. On their third possession of the half, Pryor threw a deep 62 yard TD pass to Devier Posey. As I watched Terrelle run down the field in joy, I realized that this kid IS talented and that he is not all hype. For example, Terrelle had a similar chance at the end of the half when he threw a deep pass intended for Sanzenbacher, but was too long. This time, Terrelle mislead the defense by staring down the safety, oh yes he did! , and proceeded to throw to Posey. My friends, progress IS being made. Then the Silver Bullets proceeded to stop Evan Royster's pitch on a key 3rd and 1. That set up a silent packed fan base of the Nittany Lions. As for the Buckeye fans clad in scarlet, you did a great job of making some noise for your team.
The Special Team play deserves a mention, mostly Ray Small for his two great PR's for 40+ yards. Overall, I was very impressed and obviously, so was the rest of the nation, as we jumped up to 10th in the AP top 25 poll.
With nine and a half minutes remaining in the game and down 24-7, a Clark pass was intercepted by linebacker Ross Homan to pretty much wrap up the rest of the game. Afterwards, Ohio State gathered around to sing the best song after a huge win.
So that wraps up this game..now we look ahead to Iowa, which we got word that Ricky Stanzi is not on the Depth Chart, so it's do or die time for the Hawkeyes.
